central coast person

i know of the guy. He was on holidays so that's probably why the car was sitting for so long.

I just saw the 10.5 LMGT4 come up on facebook. Messaged you straight away haha, i want them so bad...

hmm hopefully I can come, I live 2 minutes away so that suits. Any E85 is only 50 meters up the road if anyone needs it

Are the pods on the quarter genuine? If so what's your chances of getting them off undamaged? Cheers, Andrew

short answer... No. You need to change the front reinforcement. And even after doing that the car will look out of place if you don't do the other series 2 parts because the bumper will sit 5-10mm further in than the series 1 headlights. To do it properly you also need Bonnet + latch Front Guards Headlights Grille I think your better off buying a Series 1.5 bar or its also called a series 1 M-spec bar

Yeah looks to be factory Xenons have been left in. You might be better off buying a set of 2 D2R's if your a fussy person like me, because there will be a very slight difference in colour output for the older bulb. Maybe as small as 100-200K but noticeable enough for some people.

Check under the headlight itself. There will be a ballast under the headlight bolted to a bracket, you will be able to tell if its a genuine one or not easily.

Remove the RC and sand them for 15 min each with 1000Grit wet and dry then same with a 2000Grit. After that get a good metal polish, I bought some German made one that was about $20 for a tube and i hand polished it for ages but if you use a drill with a polish tool on the end or a Rotary tool "dremil" it ends up way better. Mine are only hand polished and to keep them in good nick you would need to every 12-24 months re polish. Apart from that I bought a lot of stuff new in the engine bay as you can see. I always wanted a titanium intake pipe but its just too expensive to serve no purpose other than look good.

Your lights are factory Xenon's (Note the wording on your lens). On my r33 GTR xenons you can't just twist the cover off you need to get the security torx screw off or the cap will just hit the head of the screw. Same story for r34 lights. The security torx size is a T20 They need to be there because if you manage to zap yourself it will hurt, there are about 10,000V-20,000V to zap you with. Previous owner would have just bought a cheap bulb off ebay not a HID kit because your xenons are factory fit. A proper bulb will cost you about $300+ for the pair and make sure you disconnect the headlight electrical connector when you change the bulb

That's after 5 years and 42000KM since rebuild. I haven't paid any attention to the car since i got my GTR I will probably give it a clean and re polish with a Dremil soon

I'll post some up hopefully this week

Use genuine rubber hoses, the silicone ones are very cheap and are fine for intercooler and intake piping but often get pin hole leaks when you use them for coolant. When I had my engine out the block was acid dipped then bored 40thou, honed and decked then sprayed black. All new welsh plugs and every hose in the engine bay with a new genuine part (coolant, fuel, vac and blow by), had the sump (acid dipped), head rebuilt and cleaned and the intake manifold. Then replaced all the bolts and studs on the engine with new genuine ones, new coil pack cover, polished the rocker covers like a mirror (paint flakes or chips of easy) and added an alloy radiator and extractors heat wrapped. I made it look good as new with the exception of the alloy parts, a pod filter and extractors. That's as good as its going to get with a N/A

Yeah series 1 came with fog lights and indicators but series 1.5 didn't come with it. If you put a series 1.5 into Nissan fast they they come as an accessory for them and it came with new indicators, a relay and a new stalk. OP maybe you want to check if you need the to put the relay into the fuse box? Im pretty sure there is a section provided to put a relay for fog lights I never had a clue, that's pretty cool. But i never get calls to look sedan parts up anway

Apart from the obvious structural differences, the only wiring difference is when hooking up the indicator/fog light. They have a different connector to the series 1.5 harness's as it only has a indicator on the bumper in a series 1.5 without a fog light. Not an indicator/fog light like the series 2 so you have to chop and swap the plugs. That being said you have a T10 wedge bulb fitted into the bulb holder in your picture and no r33 uses a wedge bulb for an indicator they all use bayonet bulbs, except the GTR. The bulb holder looks like the one on a GTR so it may have had the GTR indicators installed at a time.
